Reasoning about Perception

چکیده
This paper focuses on the uncouscious mechanisms underlying the process of acquisition of belief through perception. We outlines the basics of a formal theory of belief that is sensitive to the way in which beliefs are formed through perception. The process of formation of beliefs involves a form of inference that is defeasible. We represent this kind of inference by means of well-known techniques of non-monotonic reasoning. In addition, we provide an account of perception that is consistent with the commonsense intuition for how perception functions, i.e., causality.

Perceptual Representation and Reasoning
A common view of reasoning in cognitive science is that it is a process that operates on abstract sentential representations. This view implies a separation of reasoning from sensory perception. Consequently, the study of perception has proceeded relatively independently of the study of various reasoning strategies that humans employ. In this paper we argue that there are many commonsense situa...
متن کاملThe ethical climate of and its relation to the nurses' moral reasoning and courage
Background & Aims: The ethical climate of nurses' work environment makes the nurse achieve higher levels of ethical reasoning by participating in decision making. Although making decisions is essential, responding appropriately to situations and overcoming fear requires moral courage. The study aimed to determine the nurses' understanding of the hospital's moral climate, reasoning, and moral co...
متن کاملInferring Igncbrance from the Locality of Visual Ernest
This paper presents a logical theory that supports high-level reasoning about knowledge and perception. We construct a formal language in which perception can be described. Using this language, we state some fundamental axioms, and we show that these are sufficient to justify some elementary but interesting inferences about perception. In particular, our axioms make it possible in some cases to...
متن کاملVisual common-sense for scene understanding using perception, semantic parsing and reasoning
In this paper we explore the use of visual commonsense knowledge and other kinds of knowledge (such as domain knowledge, background knowledge, linguistic knowledge) for scene understanding. In particular, we combine visual processing with techniques from natural language understanding (especially semantic parsing), common-sense reasoning and knowledge representation and reasoning to improve vis...
متن کاملComputational Modelling of Emotion and Reasoning
CRIBB (Children’s Reasoning about Intentions, Beliefs and Behaviour) is a computational model of belief-desire reasoning. This paper presents an analysis of CRIBB and the initial design for an extension that involves the implementation of a model of emotions. The impetus for this research is evidence that emotion plays a fundamental role in a variety of cognitive functions such as decision-maki...
متن کاملAdapting Perception, Action, and Technology for Mathematical Reasoning
Formal mathematical reasoning provides an illuminating test case for understanding how humans can think about things that they did not evolve to comprehend. People engage in algebraic reasoning by (1) creating new assemblies of perception and action routines that evolved originally for other purposes (reuse), (2) adapting those routines to better fit the formal requirements of mathematics (adap...
